Allegiant Air will start offering new nonstop service from Syracuse to the Orlando-Sanford area starting May 30.

The airline will offer flights twice weekly from Syracuse Hancock International Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport. The airport is 27 miles from Orlando.

The flights will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tickets are already on sale at allegiant.com.

One-way promotional fares on the new route start at $68. They must be booked by Thursday to get the discount fares. Other airlines are charging $87 to $130 one-way for a similar flight.

"We are thrilled that Allegiant has chosen to add another new destination out of Syracuse Hancock International Airport," said Christina R. Callahan, executive director of the Syracuse airport. "This gives our travelers another option to get to Orlando, and brings some competition to the market.

"Allegiant has been a great partner to the airport and their continued growth with the addition of their fourth destination is a testament to the commitment they have made to serve Central New York," she said.

Jet Blue also offers nonstop service to Orlando, going to Orlando International Airport.

Orlando will be the fourth leisure destination to which Las Vegas-based Allegiant flies to from Syracuse Hancock International Airport. It also offers flights to Tampa/ St. Petersburg, Fla., Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Fort Lauderdale.

"We're thrilled to announce the only ultra-low-cost, nonstop travel option from Syracuse to Orlando," said Lukas Johnson, Allegiant senior vice president of commercial. "We're excited to add more warm, sunny travel options for Syracuse residents."
